tmoreau · 03-06-2017, 03:22 PM

I am planning and in the process of an LS swap into my 77 K5.
I have gathered and searched lots of threads, and I am sure you guys will respond with links to other questions that might answer my questions. First of all, what motor mounts will put the motor and tranny in a 'stock' 350/350 location? I am planning on using a 700r4 behind my LS.

Here's my parts plan so far...
MSD 6014 timing box
Edelbrock Victor Jr Intake
Hughes LS1 flexplate adapter HP3795

I was thinking about the transadapt motor mounts - 4575, as i read they were really close to stock SBC location.
I have also read that the ebay stainless 2010+ camaro headers will fit on C10 applications, but I am not sure on k5
I am pretty sure i am going to custom plum a steam vent to run under the intake.
so i guess here are my questions
1. what motor mounts?
2. transmission mount? i have TH350 now, switching to 700r4
3. power steering lines plum right into gearbox?
4. any pictures of header fitment on an LS swapped 2wd K5?

Thats all i have for now, but I am sure i'll have more questions. Please be patient, it's my first LS build and first Truck build too.
